This is the first presendential campaign I have actually wept over. I couldn't believe that so many of my fellow Americans were bigoted, fearful people. I was proven wrong. I've been rapped sharply on the knuckles -- most of my fellow Americans prefer delusion to fact, soothing platitudes to doing something sensible. I canvassed, and met more hateful people than I had thought possible in my own neighborhood.
This is not the America of my childhood. I don't know what it is.
